Uninstalling HP Insight Management Agents on
multiple remote servers using HP SIM
You can configure HP SIM to contain a tool that executes a command line program on multiple target
servers to uninstall the HP Insight Management Agents for Windows® (6.30 or later).
To configure HP SIM to contain the Uninstall Agents Tool:
1.
Create a folder.
o
For HP SIM running on a Windows Server®, save the folder on the C drive, and name it
c:\hpagun.
If you use a different drive or folder, edit the agents-uninstall.xml file and replace c:\hpagun in
the following line with the drive and folder used:
o
For HP SIM running on an HP-UX or Linux server, create the folder hpagun under /tmp/ (for
example, /tmp/hpagun).
2.
Copy the following files to the server running HP SIM.
These files are located in the \AgentUninstall directory of the Insight Provider documentation:
o
agents-uninstall.xml—Contains information that allows HP SIM to add the Uninstall Agents Tool to
its menu system.
—
For HP SIM running on a Windows Server®, copy the agents-uninstall.xml file to the
C:\Program Files\HP\Systems Insight Manager\Tools folder.
—
For HP SIM running on an HP-UX or Linux server, copy the agents-uninstall.xml file to the
/var/opt/mx/tools folder. Edit the agents-uninstall.xml file, and then replace the following
command line:
o
UninstallAgents.exe—Is used to perform the uninstall of SNMP agents on each target system.
Copy UninstallAgents.exe to the c:\hpagun folder (/tmp/hpagun folder on HP-UX or Linux HP
SIM CMS systems). You can place the executable file into a different folder, but you must edit the
agents-uninstall.xml file to replace the reference to c:\hpagun with the folder you want to use.
3.
From the folder where the agents-uninstall.xml file resides, run the following command:
mxtool -a -f agents-uninstall.xml
When the Uninstall Agents Tool is added to HP SIM, the following messages appear:
Successfully parsed tools file.
Successfully added tool named "Uninstall HP Insight Management Agents"
Successfully added 1 tool
